Coronavirus Vaccine: Only 42% Of Americans Plan To Get Vaccinated, Poll Reveals – By Arthur Villasanta (IB Times) / Aug 4 2020
- Americans continue to hold back on committing themselves to inoculations with the new COVID-19 vaccine
- Only 4 in 10 Americans say they plan to get vaccinated
- That number was almost 6 in 10 in early May
Only four in 10 American adults (42%) now plan to have themselves inoculated with a potential COVID-19 vaccine compared to more than half (55%) who said they would do so less than three months ago.
The stunning national rise in distrust in vaccinations among Americans was laid bare in a series of polls conducted since May by Yahoo News and YouGov. These polls show a continuing overall drop in the number of Americans willing to submit to voluntary vaccinations.
The May 6 poll shows 55% of Americans saying “yes” when asked if they planned to take the new COVID-19 vaccine once one is approved. This high initial figure, however, has continuously fallen in the three polls since, including the latest one taken July 30.
The number tumbled to 50% in the May 22 poll, 46% in the June 14 survey, and 42% in the July 30 poll. The 42% figure is the lowest to date.
